In the United States and the United Kingdom, a single is usually considered a hit when it reaches the Top 40 of the official Billboard Magazine’s Hot 100 or the Top 75 of the UK Singles Chart and stays there for at least one week.
....ridiculously absurd, imo.
#1-5 = a top hit
# 6-10 = a hit
#11-15 = a moderate hit
#16-20 = a minor hit
# 21- .... = a disaster
so hendrix entire career was a disaster?
Hey Joe, Purple Haze, The Wind Cries Mary, All Along The Watchtower were big hits in the UK. His original studio albums and a live album were big in both UK and US. So his career surely wasn´t a disaster.
hendrix never had a top 10 hit single in america.
There´s a world outside of the US.

Actually the Time Waits For No One Anthology contains quite a few tracks which do not appear on the other compilations. None of these tracks appear on Honk.

Interesting compilation indeed. But it seems that it is only available as a very expensive import. So I would not recommend it to a casual fan. With all its minor faults HONK is the best you can get.

Depends on where you live. It was released in most territories but not North America.
It was essentially a contract filler after the Stones left Atlantic for EMI in the UK and the rest of the world. They elected to stay with Atlantic in North America.
It was released by WEA a year after Some Girls.

The title track is actually about 10 seconds longer than the version on IORR due to an extended fade on Charlie's drums.

Never understood the point with buying the same songs twice. So, I must admit I have passed on almost every compilation. I have a unique compilation though that
very few have in their collection - The Dressman RS compilation: Hot Stuff! And it was cheap, around 5 Euro (sale) if I remember right.

Was there ever a CD release of it?
It seems there is only a very expensive japanese SHM-CD version available, released in 2019.
Yes, Japanese SHM is the first time on CD. But it has no extended versions or anything unique as it based on 2009 remaster. Brickwall sound and copy-paste job of album versions.Quote

HONK is the definitive comp for 1971-2018 material. It is way better than REWIND, JUMP BACK or any other i don´t even remember.
Pros of HONK:
- Cheap
- Bonus Live CD
- All of the famous 70s/80s-hits
- nice artwork
cons of HONK:
- long time followers have to buy it for the bonus CD only
- some unforgivably cringeworthy songs included here - Out Of Tears, Out Of Control, Saint Of Me, Streets of Love)
- three songs from Blue And Lonesome is too much
- only one song from glorious DIRTY WORK
I agree, with the exception of Streets Of Love, that I find reminiscent of the Black And Blue days (not that that was such a good album but the fact alone does it for me). One Hit could have been a nice addition and the two B2B songs should have been replaced by Anybody Seen My Baby.
I only got Honk for the live cd though.
If a song was a hit or not is not so relevant as at least 70% of the songs weren't hits anyway.
This shows that you don't have a fathom aspect of their back catalogue.
You fail, as usual, to acknowledge their legacy as it is respected, and throw in your trolling DW attitude. A majority of Stones fans yet alone the casual Stones fans have:
1. the fans fact that DIRTY WORK is their worst album ever.
2. the fact that casual fans won't like paltry Stones songs, which, therefor, DIRTY WORK is a completely pointless album to acknowledge with a hits comp other than Harlem Shuffle, the only thing a majority of casual fans have heard, and for good reason.
Are you talking to me?

You define your absurdity brilliantly. Kook trollville mayor.
The definition I created is more close to real life than any other. Imagine Keith calling Mick saying "We got it made we got it made, it´s marvelous - our new single peaked at #36! What lucky day! Come over let´s make another album, I bet it would peak at #24, wouldn´t that be something!"
A song that didn´t hit the top 10 is not considered a hit by real life people.

Shattered was #31 in the US. It's a hit song. People love it. It's on the radio a lot.
She's So Cold was 33 and 26 in the UK and US. It's a hit song. It gets played on the radio. People love it.
Waiting On A Friend was 50 and 13 in the UK and US. It's a hit song because... a LOT of people know it and it gets played on the radio.
One Hit (To The Body) was 80 and 28... technically a hit in the US but hardly anyone knows it and it's not played on the radio so for people it's not a hit.
Mixed Emotions was 35 and 5, a hit song in the US... but not many know it and it's not played on the radio so... it's not a hit in the same sense One Hit isn't a hit. It was their last Top 10 single in the US.
The definition you created has nothing to do with reality... as usual.

None of the songs you are mentioning can be considered a hit, except Mixed Emotions. #31, #33, #28, #35... come on let´s be serious - no man in the real world would ever say such peak numbers "are hits". The aforementioned "official" definition is a theoretical construct, completely abstract, useless in real life. My definition isn´t abstract/theoretical but reflecting what real people in the real world would consider a "hit". Start Me Up was a hit, nobody would ever deny it, but telling someone Shattered peaking at #31 "was a hit" would make real people burst with laughter. Forget about all those academical definitions of this and that - the "official" hit-definiton is good for nothing and not worth a dime. A song that did not hit at least the top 15 isn´t a hit in real life. A song peaking at #17 would be a minor hit (in fact not much to write home about), a song peaking at #3 of course would be a top hit. A song peaking at #38 isn´t worth talking about, it is clearly a failure, I´d even like to say a flop.

so I could be wrong and maybe a stones historian can correct me but do you consider "wild horses", "street fighting man" and "sympathy for the devil" hits and well known stones tunes? weird if you do because as far as I know the bands original studio versions of those 3 tunes never hit the top 15 in the uk or the usa

But in my world their last big hit was Start Me Up. Released 38 years ago. And judging by their modern day setlists they seem to think the same.
